    ILB, it just confirms our thoughts on how most won’t be happy no matter who they hire 🙂
    Plenty of good information on Quinn on the web. He was actually my second choice behind Montgomery before any of the shenanigans started.
    I’m guessing that the Rangers organization and their desire to keep their search hush hush played a roll in his decision to openly state he’s staying with B.U. Not so sure what happens regarding the World jr. tourny though..

    Honestly boys, you have to try to allow yourselves to stop stereotyping coaches as “minor league coaches” or “college coaches” etc. The game is changing whether you like it or not. So is the dynamic for successful NHL coaches. And no I don’t mean advanced stats even though some rely on those too.

    There’s a very small percentage of old time coaches left behind the bench these days, Coos.
    Off the top of my head Trotz, Babcock, Quenville, AV, Torts, Boudreau, Julien, Maurice, Sutter if he gets a job. That’s 9 out of 31. Roughly 30% and out of those names who has been consistently successful other than Quenville? How may of those guys are going to be in their current jobs for the next five years?

    Late in a shift spent mostly in the offensive zone, Ryan McDonagh had to go back about 175 feet (give or take) as the Capitals were on a 2-on-1 that turned into a 3-on-2. McDonagh got back and blocked Brett Connolly’s shot. McDonagh has been so good for the Lightning.

    Here’s hoping today is the day MAF lays an egg. Athletic had story nominally about how advanced stats show Jets should have been winning those games proving one should take those things with a big grain of salt.

    Carp said

    Quinn, 51, is a Mike Sullivan clone, not just in the way he coaches, but in the way he speaks.

    Not a very ringing endorsement. Any of the boneheads could probably have won with those teams too.

    Bought out the wrong defensemen last summer!! Staal did fine this year but Girardi would have been a better 3rd pair for the time left in his contract. Oh well!
    ——
    No issues from me if it’s Quinn. Has ahl, nhl and college coaching experience (some international as well) and obviously he has great experience working with and teaching young players. It’s the rangers so they could still go ahead and sign some ufas, but reality is they will have plenty of young players on the roster in the coming years no matter what.

    If Girardi was here instead of staal we still would have missed the playoffs this past year as well as this coming year.

    Only difference is Girardi would still be a whipping boy instead of a savior.

    Problem is far greater.

    Too many draft picks traded. So no real replacements as others got too expensive or old or injured or all of the above.

    And nowhere near top end talent up front especially at center.
